Description

**[Lars Uffmann](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=cachescrubber)** opened **[MNG-7885](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7885?redirect=false)** and commented

It would be a great improvement in dependency management if plugin dependencies could be part of the standard dependency management resolution. In the example below I could manage the version of the rewrite-maven-plugin using pluginManagement, the version of the rewrite-spring plugin dependency however has to be set in place.

 

 

```java

 
   
      org.openrewrite.maven
      rewrite-maven-plugin
     
       
          org.openrewrite.java.spring.boot2.SpringBoot2JUnit4to5Migration
       
     
     
       
          org.openrewrite.recipe
          rewrite-spring
          4.35.0
       
     
   
 

```

 

 

Other plugins are using special configurations to declare extra dependencies. The version. management issue however is the same. A good example is   
_annotationProcessorPaths_ of the compiler plugin.
